This one rocks. Very tough to call. Tate by decision.

Big John Tate would be too big for Floyd Patterson. Tate by knockout

Big John Tate would not allow Floyd Patterson to pull a Mike Weaver on him by landing no mercy jabs and combinations on the outside to either take a decision or stopping him in about 10 rounds.

I'd have to favor Tate. Tate's a big lug, who wasn't that hard to hit, but he was tall, and rangy, and a fairly powerful man in his own right.

Patterson would have a big speed advantage, but it would take a lot of him having to contend with the much larger Tate round after round, and I think he'd be feeling pretty fatigued from about Round 5 or 6 onward in the contest.

I'd take Tate to win a decision 10 rounds to 5 or thereabouts.
